Looks like a Python3-ism (or at least some newer version Pythonism) in

commit 306fc6b509a9e71e16d54e11d11d70968aa4c3ef
Author: Dan Eble <address@hidden>

    Issue 5576: make output-distance less verbose by default
    
which would be an independent problem.

I'll try reverting this one as well and hope that we don't get into a
dependency hell for that.
